Interesting fact
The 1 Dicken coin from the City of Konstanz (German States) made of Silver has a unique feature. It has a hole in the center, which was intentionally made during the minting process. This hole was used to thread a string or a ribbon through it, allowing people to wear it as an amulet or a pendant. This practice was common during that time, as people believed that carrying a coin with a hole in it could bring good luck and protect them from harm.
